Plant Services - August 2008 - (Page 55) PRODUCT PICKS weld in style Arc Armor safety apparel focuses on style, design and comfort with high-quality materials and welder-friendly designs. Four styles of gloves, targeted for MIG, Stick, TIG and metalworking, feature ergonomically curved fingers for added comfort and dexterity. Designed by welders for welders, three new jackets are available in a cloth, a combination of cloth and leather, and all-leather styles. Complementing accessories include jobsite tool bags, welding sleeves, welding caps and bandanas. Cool a roof The Metal Roof Retrofit System converts a deteriorated, leaking metal roof into an energy-saving cool roof. The system can reduce air-conditioning costs by 35% or more, depending on the installation. The system recovers or overlays the existing metal roof panels with insulation or cover board and a thermoplastic white reflective roof membrane. The enclosed space stays much cooler in hot weather, while helping reduce the urban heat island effect. Installation can be done without disrupting normal business activity. Miller Electric Mfg. Co.

The components are stocked in UHMW or nylon, and made-to-order components are available in other materials. The nonmetallic parts are lightweight, self-lubricating, and abrasion- and corrosion-resistant. optimize zone and bridge flows The Technologic 5500 ZoneSav controller is designed to optimize zone/bridge flow and distribution loop temperature difference without sacrificing humidity control and comfort. The controller allows users to “decouple” zones thermally or hydraulically from the chilled or hot water distribution systems. By introducing a true tertiary zone valve with a decoupling bridge, a tertiary zone pump and a ZoneSav valve controller, the system eliminates weak differential pressures in remote branches of the system and excessive differential pressures in loads near the main distribution plant.

Its reflector design focuses light on fast-moving machinery components. The light gets brighter as the pulse duration or the pulse rate increases. It has a flash rate to 50,000 flashes per minute, with an adjustable flash duration from 10 to 250 microseconds. deteCt Chute bloCkage The microwave beam blockage detector uses microwave energy to detect blockage between a sender and a receiver. The sender transmits rapid bursts of microwaves. The presence or absence of the signal at the receiver toggles a relay for indication or control purposes. The receiver can be mounted as far as 328 ft. from the sender.
